Great Ideas for Nonprofits Using Salesforce
- Idea Exchange Items for NPC
Dar Veverka (Salesforce)Several Nonprofit Cloud Idea Exchange items were updated last week, with new features like easier data migration and gift entry improvements moving closer to release. Be sure to vote on the ideas you’d like to see implemented, as community feedback helps shape future updates!
- NPC: Allow Search on Gift Soft Credit Object
Rachel Hands (Sputnik Moment)Right now in Nonprofit Cloud, Gift Soft Credits can’t be found through global search, making it difficult to locate donors whose giving is tracked via soft credits (e.g., household gifts or donor-advised funds). Enabling global search could save users from having to run reports or know exactly where to look.
